NFCYM: National Federation for
Catholic Youth Ministry:
“The NFCYM does not seem to take fidelity to the teachings
of the Church into account when choosing with whom to
associate itself. From featuring dissidents as speakers at
their conferences, to recommending unfaithful resources”.

Girls Scout Cookies:
Frequently Asked Questions: Under the
heading "Cookie Revenue" is the question:
Does any of the money from cookie
sales go to Girl Scouts of the
USA (the national Girl Scouts organization)?
The answer: The baker (Little Brownie Bakers) that produces
the cookies pays a royalty check to the Girl Scouts of the
USA for the use of their Girl Scout licensed trademark on
each and every box of cookies that each Girl Scout sells
in every state, city, town, Girl Scout council, school, and
church.

All local Girl Scout council
stores in the USA purchase all uniforms, books,
badges etc…. from Girls Scouts of USA.As documented from the
Better Business Bureau
in the year September 30, 2006 – October 1, 2007, GSUSA
merchandise sales totaled $17,942,000.

In Connecticut, the Girl Scouts honored a Planned Parenthood
official for promoting “healthy practices” in local
troops.

In Pennsylvania, three Girl Scout councils state on internet
sites that Planned Parenthood is invited as guest speakers to talk to
Junior Girl Scouts and these talks make up the majority of
the effort the girls need for a special “Becoming a Teen”
badge.

In May of 2003 the Girl Scouts’ Bluebonnet Council in Waco,
Texas, designated as a “Woman of Distinction” the
executive director of Planned Parenthood of central Texas.

A sexuality conference in Waco, Texas,
entitled “Nobody’s Fool” was co-sponsored
between the Girl Scout Bluebonnet Council and Planned
Parenthood. This conference has been sponsored by the
Bluebonnet Council for nine years and targets girls in
grades seven through nine. Pro-life Waco has stated
that the national Girl Scout logo was on the program flyer
and advertisements and Girl Scout employees served as
volunteers for the program. A book titled It’s
Perfectly Normal, that is recommended for ages 10 and
up, was given away.

Topics included in this book include

9 reasons to have an abortion,

including:

if the parents didn’t have enough time or money to take
“good care” of a baby

if the parents felt too young to be parents

if the girl or woman simply didn’t want to become pregnant

The American Life League states that in Omaha,
Nebraska, in mid-2004, the Great Plains Girl Scout Council
appointed the former Vice President of Marketing of Planned
Parenthood of Nebraska, Beverly Todd Nolte, as their
executive director. In January 2004, Ms. Nolte
defended a Planned Parenthood program that informed teens on
how they could bypass Nebraska’s parental notification law.
In the Omaha World –Herald on January 11, 2004, Ms. Nolte is
quoted as stating: “We see it as an issue of
information teens need to have, we’re standing up for teens’
rights.” The website of the Colorado Girl
Scouts lists among its 2004 Women of Distinction Ms. Susan
Damour, who has served as Senior Vice President - Internal
and External Affairs at Planned Parenthood of the Rocky
Mountains.

The American Life Leagues’
STOPP (Stop Planned Parenthood) International conducted
a survey in which every Girl Scout Council was asked if they
had any type of relationship with Planned Parenthood.
Out of 315 Girl Scout Councils only 99 would respond to this
question. Of those 99 respondents, 23 councils from
around the country admitted that they have a relationship
with Planned Parenthood. The following is a list of
states that these 23 councils are in, with some states
having more than one council with ties to Planned
Parenthood. It is not known how many other states have
councils with ties to Planned Parenthood that refused to
respond to this survey.

The Divine Mercy: Ninth Day

"Today
bring to Me
the
Soulswho
have become Lukewarmand immerse them in
the abyss of My mercy.
These souls wound My Heart most painfully.
My
soul suffered the most dreadful loathing in the
Garden of Olives
because of lukewarm souls. They were the reason I
cried out: 'Father, take this cup away from Me, if it be
Your will.' For them, the last hope of salvation is to run
to My mercy."
